The capture of Granada is one of the events of the year 1492, so important for Spanish historiography that it is referred to as the crucial year. The city of Granada continues to celebrate this day, January 2, 1492, every year.
The capture of Granada ended a years-long siege around the eponymous city in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The city was taken on January 2, 1492, by the combined forces of the newly united crowns of Aragon and Castile against the troops of the Muslim kingdom of Granada led by Sultan Boabdil. This victory put an end to the Granada Wars, which had begun in 1482.
